The electorate formed during the redistribution in 2004 and replaced the former electorate of
The Hills, which was abolished at the same time. It was first contested at the
2007 election, when it was won by
Michael Richardson, previously the member for The Hills.
While the Hills District has long been Liberal heartland, Castle Hill is considered a particularly safe seat even by Hills standards. Counting its time as The Hills, the Liberals have always won an outright majority in this seat on the first count. However, in recent years, has run dead here; in the three elections since its creation, Labor has been lucky to win 30 percent of the two-party vote.
After the 2015 election, it was the safest seat in the state, with a 29.4 percent swing needed for to win it.
